This is for the arguments = start files.
If one of the start files is a directory, chown -R will recurse into it and find ALL files.
That was my big mistake.

--additional-suffix=SUFFIX
append an additional SUFFIX to file names
-b, --bytes=SIZE
put SIZE bytes per output file
-C, --line-bytes=SIZE
put at most SIZE bytes of lines per output file
-d, --numeric-suffixes[=FROM]

CHUNKS may be: N split into N files based on size of input K/N output Kth of N to stdout l/N split into N files without
splitting lines l/K/N output Kth of N to stdout without splitting lines r/N like 'l' but use round robin distribution r/K/N like-
